be_v in_o god_n which_o we_o term_v the_o absolute_a and_o the_o secret_a will_n be_v evermore_o the_o same_o 5._o moreover_o we_o tender_v this_o argument_n unto_o they_o election_n be_v not_o

the_o mean_n that_o be_v prepare_v and_o set_v out_o by_o god_n for_o the_o common_a salvation_n of_o the_o church_n as_o they_o can_v not_o possible_o pass_v the_o hand_n of_o god_n but_o needs_o
